About Life Is Legal
For most people, the law feels like a gated community full of fine print, Latin, and $400/hour gatekeepers. Ordinary people only meet the law when something goes wrong: a death, a divorce, or a dispute. That’s why Life Is Legal exists — to change that relationship. After 25 years practicing law, Brooke Hardie has seen what keeps people up at night and how often good, smart people get blindsided by laws they didn’t even know existed. Life Is Legal makes the law human, relatable, and even a little bit funny. Each episode and article breaks down complicated legal issues into simple stories and plain English takeaways that help listeners protect what matters, avoid preventable messes, and breathe a little easier. Because in the end, life is legal. So you gotta know the rules.

Bankruptcy is a federal court process for dealing with debt. So right there, you learn something. It's not state by state rules. It's a federal process. The rules are the same for everybody, largely. When someone files bankruptcy, they have to disclose a lot of stuff with regard to their assets and their debts and their income, gifts that they've made to other people for the past several few years, who their creditors are, just a ton of financial information.
